Chapter 134 Weird Village
Being alone in the deep mountains and forests and encountering a giant black-scaled snake is a terrifying picture in itself.

Not to mention that the snake's eyes looked rather odd.

Lu Bai stared at it thoughtfully. The inexplicable muttering in his ears didn't seem like the kind of noise that an ordinary animal could make.

Could it be that this time... it's a death fight with demons as the background?

The black-scaled snake's pair of vertical pupils still maintained a scrutinizing look.

The man and the snake stared at each other for a while, and finally the black-scaled snake broke the deadlock.

It moved.

Click~click~
The scales rubbed against the bark, and the thick snake body meandered on the tree trunk, pushing the part above the snake's neck groove gradually into the air.

The snake's snout opened a little bit, spitting out a long, thin scarlet tongue, as if judging Lu Bai's background.

After the suspended snake body extended for more than two meters, it began to slowly shrink back.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Instead of relaxing, he became more vigilant.

Because the upper half of the snake's body was curled up, ready to go like a spring, in an undoubted attacking posture.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Bai called out tentatively.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because the snake was too lazy to communicate or simply didn't understand human nature, after he opened his mouth, the giant snake pounced on him like lightning.

Things have come to this point, there is no way Lu Bai will just surrender.

Instantly turn off the surrounding lights, shrouding the area in darkness. At the same time, activate [Flash Time] to avoid the snake's attack.

Snakes mainly rely on their sense of smell and touch to sense prey. They do have eyesight, but it is generally not very good.

Of course Lu Bai knew this.

So his intention was not to completely block the opponent's vision, but to confuse the big snake.

Thanks to the existence of [Flash Time], it is not difficult to do this.

hiss~
The big snake missed its attack and immediately retracted into the tree trunk while maintaining its attacking posture, constantly sticking out its tongue to sense the environment.

After determining Lu Bai's position, he shot forward again.

However, this attempt failed.

The black-scaled snake finally froze.

It didn't quite understand what was going on. It was sure that it had clearly sensed the location of this human, so why did it keep coming up empty-handed?
There was no dodging process, which surprised the snake.

Is it some kind of nightmare?
It turns out he is quite capable. No wonder he dares to go into the woods alone.

"Want to chat?"

Lu Bai was hiding in the darkness, and his voice sounded a little amusing.

To the black-scaled snake, this clearly sounded like a sign of confidence.

It suddenly swung its tail and swept towards the direction where Lu Bai's voice came from.

The only feedback that came back was a sound of breaking air, and no real object was hit.

The final sneak attack failed, and the black-scaled snake acted decisively, spraying out a dark green poisonous mist and quickly retreating under the cover of the poisonous mist.

After all, Lu Bai's behavior was too strange, and it was really unsure what his background was.

Watching the tail of the black-scaled snake completely disappear into the vegetation, Lu Bai waved his hand to dispel the darkness around him.

He could clearly feel that the black-scaled snake was intelligent, but unfortunately it didn't want to communicate with him.

He let out a long sigh: "Snake demon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt dizzy.

Fortunately, this feeling came quickly and went away even faster.

He wasn't even sure if it was an illusion.

……

It was already evening when we walked out of the woods.

Lu Bai looked at the curling smoke rising in the distance and quickened his pace.

He is still confused about the situation in this world, so he might as well find a local to ask first.

After running for four or five kilometers along the country road, we finally arrived at our destination... a small village.

It is not the kind of idyllic scenery you imagine, with fields connected and the sounds of chickens and dogs.

Instead, it was a bit desolate. This village had about a hundred households and was not very large.

A half-man-high wooden fence surrounds the dilapidated, low-rise earthen house, and sparse haystacks are dotted around the house.

The gravel road connecting the villages was wet and muddy with puddles of water from time to time.

The overall feeling is dilapidated.

It is to the extent that cadres who go to the countryside must immediately help with poverty alleviation when they see it.

Perhaps it was because he rarely saw strangers, Lu Bai had not been standing at the entrance of the village for long before several families opened their doors and looked at Lu Bai with curiosity and vigilance.

Soon, the men in the family pushed their women and children back home and closed the door.

An old man in his fifties came out surrounded by the crowd and shouted righteously, "Excuse me, young master, what can I do for you?"

Whether it is the patched and numb clothes of these villagers or the way they speak, there is no trace of modernity.

Considering that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, Lu Bai casually bowed and said, "I'm passing through your place, and it's getting late. Could you let me stay for one night?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers began to discuss in low voices.

Some people were even pointing at Lu Bai.

The village elder, who was over fifty years old, coughed twice and asked, "Where did you come from, young master?"

Lu Bai pointed to the forest behind.

The scene cooled down instantly.

"Qinggang Forest?"

"I'm afraid there's a problem."

"Shh..."

Many villagers hid back in their houses with terrified looks on their faces and closed their doors tightly.

The village elder's first reaction was to avoid it, but since he had already stood out, he could only stand there awkwardly, smiling in an extremely unnatural way.

"Which one would you like to stay at?"

Such a big change?
Lu Bai was silent for a moment, then he smiled harmlessly.

"I choose?"

"It should, it should."

When the village elder saw this smile, he couldn't help but shiver, and his wrinkled face looked like he was crying.

creak~
The door of a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village was pushed open, and a dark-skinned little girl stood out.

She looked at Lu Bai with eyes full of respect and fear, but took the initiative to invite him: "Please...please come to my house and stay overnight."

Lu Bai glanced at her and then turned his gaze back to the village elder.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, of course. I'll take my leave now."

The village elder turned around and left as if he had been pardoned.

The dark-skinned village girl opened the gate and tremblingly called out, "Come... come."

Lu Bai then took a step forward.

He guessed that the villagers' attitude had changed so drastically that they probably regarded him as some kind of non-human being.

……

The room was very simple.

There was a wooden table for eating, a small wooden stool with a reflective surface, and an extinguished fire in the corner.

Going further in, there was no obstruction and the layout inside could be seen at a glance. Next to the wood stove was a one-meter square wooden water tank with a gray towel hanging above the water tank.

There is a hint of antiquity in the simplicity.

But these did not attract Lu Bai's attention. All his attention was now focused on the base of the wall.

It was a miniature building the size of a shrine.

At first glance, it looks like the entire house was scaled down.

There are even internal structures that are so detailed that they look like mini figures.

Moreover, right in front of the miniature building, there is a porcelain bowl serving as an incense burner, which is filled with incense ash and burnt wooden sticks.
